I get nervous reading those things from so high style and polite people, and it doesn't match with the experiences I had with English cooking the only time (about 3 months) I spent in England about 20 years ago.

In this subject I'm with Chirac, when he answered to Tony Blair's beautiful economic proposals, that "the main contribution England ever made to agriculture were the mad cows and the worst cooking of all Europe" or something like that.

I think that Jonathan Swift proposed similar things two centuries and a half ago.

I keep the hope that in south europe we'll keep the great cuisines from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy... without using human beings.

By the way, I think it was Robert Stevenson who wrote that nobody could explain or describe what anthropophagy is, until it became one of them.

Like being a mother or not...!

I'm getting lost...
